“Mamma Mia!” held its final Broadway curtain call this past Saturday after an amazing 14 years and well over 5,000 performances. Of course, a show can't run that long without the outstanding love and support of the audience. The production of a Broadway musical is an extremely expensive undertaking, usually requiring from $5 million to $20 million to open in New York. A hit musical on Broadway will usually take in from $600,000 to $1,000,000 per week in ticket sales! Now think of the profit in 14 years! Not to mention the substantial amount of money being generated by touring productions of the musical throughout the world.
